  1. A \(x+4 y \frac{d y}{d x}=0\)
  2. B \(x-4 y \frac{d y}{d x}=0\)
  3. C \(x+2 y \frac{d y}{d x}=0\)
  4. D None of these
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(x+4 y \frac{d y}{d x}=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For the given ellipse, we have \(\mathrm{a}=2 \mathrm{~b}\)
\(
\therefore \frac{\mathrm{x}^2}{4 \mathrm{~b}^2}+\frac{\mathrm{y}^2}{\mathrm{~b}^2}=1 \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}^2+4 \mathrm{y}^2=4 \mathrm{~b}^2
\)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t., we get
\(
2 x+8 y \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \Rightarrow x+4 y \frac{d y}{d x}=0
\)
